Here we are with a shocking update that is all about Google Layoff news. The layoffs will affect staff members working on the augmented reality hardware team as well as those developing Google Assistant, a voice-activated technology.
Google Layoff News:
Google has said that it will be letting go of hundreds of workers from its engineering, hardware, and digital assistant divisions. This action is a component of the business’s continuous cost-cutting initiatives. This occurs almost exactly a year after Google revealed its largest-ever layoffs, affecting 12,000 workers.
Employees working on the augmented reality hardware team and developing Google Assistant, a voice-activated technology, will be affected by the layoffs, according to a Bloomberg story. Job losses will also occur in the company’s primary engineering group.
A Google representative clarified in a statement, “Several of our teams changed in the latter half of 2023 to enhance efficiency and better align resources with our main product goals. These organizational reforms are still being implemented by some teams, which regrettably include global employment losses.
According to the article, the impacted workers have been informed and given the opportunity to apply for other open Google roles.
Disapproving of the layoffs, the Alphabet Workers Union, which represents certain Google employees, made a statement on social network X, formerly known as Twitter. The union declared, “Every day, our colleagues and members put out great effort to produce top-notch products for our users. The corporation should not be allowed to keep firing staff members in spite of its quarterly billion-dollar profits. We’re going to keep fighting until we get our jobs back!”
